As human beings we are all capable of
inquiry, of discovery,
and this whole process is meditation.
Meditation
is inquiry into the very being of the meditator.
You cannot meditate
without self-knowledge,
without being aware of the ways of your own
mind,
from the superficial responses to the most complex subtleties of
thought.
I am sure it is not really difficult to know, to be aware of
oneself,
but it is difficult for most of us because we are so afraid to
inquire, to grope, to search out.
Our fear is not of the unknown, but of
letting go of the known.
It is only when the mind allows the known to
fade away that there is complete freedom
from the known, and only then
is it possible for the new impulse to come into being.
